"Customizing WordPress Using Dreamweaver" and "Customizing Drupal Using Dreamweaver" - WordPress and Drupal are two of the most popular ways to create web sites that are fast to build, easy to maintain, and can be extended in tons of different ways. Customizing the design of them can be a bit tricky though. Well Luke Kilpatrick and Chris Charlton will walk you through how to install , customize, and maintain your sites using these engines -- all using your own laptop, so you can take it with you!

"Ajax for Designers" - Greg Rewis walks you through how to work with Ajax toolkits like Spry, jQuery, YUI and others and work with them inside Dreamweaver CS4. Greg will help keep the jargon away, and show you how to tame Ajax and be successful.

And for the adventurous...

This beginner session will introduce what is considered one of the easiest programming languages to learn, and demonstrate how fast you can create cool web sites without breaking a sweat.
